ELK Products ELK-W040A Serial Ribbon Cable
Overview
The ELK-W040A is a serial ribbon cable used to carry serial communication between compatible ELK Products system components during panel installation or module wiring. Ribbon cables like the ELK-W040A are typically used inside an enclosure or between closely mounted boards, where a flat, low-profile serial run is easier to route and dress than bulkier round cable — a factor worth checking against your enclosure's internal clearance before you order.
Compatibility
The ELK-W040A is built for serial connections within the ELK Products ecosystem. Manufacturer documentation was not available at the time of writing to confirm the exact panel and module part numbers this cable pairs with — confirm fit against your specific ELK system's wiring diagram or the panel's installation manual before purchase, since ELK uses several ribbon and header pinouts across its product lines that are not interchangeable.
Installation Notes
As a serial ribbon interconnect, the ELK-W040A is intended for short, fixed-position runs rather than field-terminated wiring. Verify connector orientation and pin count against both endpoints before powering up the system, since a reversed or mismatched ribbon connection on serial headers can prevent communication between boards.
